Now that his key skill position players - Julio Jones, Roddy White and Steven Jackson - are healthy, Matt Ryan can move the ball on any team playing inside the Georgia Dome. The addition of big-play man Dester Hester is another plus for Atlanta.

Ryan should have a big night facing a Tampa Bay defense that has been hit hard by injuries to their front seven. The Buccaneers particularly will be missing star tackle Gerald McCoy, out with a hand injury. The Bucs also haven't faced an offense nearly this talented after opening against the Derek Anderson-led Panthers and third-string Austin Davis-led Rams.

The Falcons are bad on defense, though. They have surrendered 472 yards in each of their first two games. The Buccaneers have tall, physical wide receivers who can take advantage.

Josh McCown has had two games now to get in sync with his new offense. The Falcons don't generate much of a pass rush so I'm expecting McCown to play as well in this game as he played last year for Chicago when he filled in for Jay Cutler.
